That post of Michael Cummings is indeed an interesting piece,Michael seems to think however that the good olde US of A is the Seventh Cavalry riding to the rescue and putting the worlds wrongs to right,unfortunately America is every bit if not more guilty of the most horrendous of human rights abuses all over the world,their gung ho attitude to weaker nations is a disgrace and insult to the founding fathers of that nation,the previous secretary of state Clinton was a war monger and a murderer,and no friend to Ireland as is a popular betrayal. a friend to quisling $inn £ein yes and that makes her as big a hypocrite as they are, Kerry should do the right thing and tell the brits to fuck of the Boston tapes stay put,its the right thing to do but if we are expecting the uncle Tom O Bama,s administration to do the right thing then we may be very disappointed.if Machael had been more honest about America,s foreign affairs and abuses then his piece would have imo carried more weight.

Anthony:

I'm in no doubt that is the best piece I have read to date, Cummings has put everything into this document.

I can't see any of the tapes being handed over.

I'm sure Kerry will have read it, and, will act upon it.

Alec,

that is right. There would have been nothing for the ACLU to have intervened in were it not for the legal battle we put up. But BC would have stayed out only for the ACLU.

Once again I feel myself in agreement with Alec,yourself and Ed and Carrie have fought a David and Goliath fight with the outcome still to be settled,the size of the opposition opposed to you would have made lesser mortals buckle,yourselves and other jurno,s like Suzanne Breen unlike so many others are to be credited for standing up to the system in the interests of academic research and press freedom.

Mackers,

you are the expert on the issue so I take what you say on board. However, the fight was kept up by Ed and yourslef otherwise the ACLU would have no role to play.

Anthony:

So Much for the Los Angeles Times Reporters?, I doubt if it was two of there own reporters that they would even mention The handing over of the tapes at just one case of ("the 5-4 majority, Lewis Powell, insisted that judges could still balance the assertion of a reporter’s privilege against “societal interests” on a case-by-case basis.") 1972!. But I didn't know that seven more tapes were also requested From PIRA interviewee's, But it proves one thing, They have as yet to request tapes from Loyalist Interviewee's?, I would say they want those well buried!

Anthony:

Just read that letter from your link above ,"Irish American Groups".

Everything which is stated in that letter is what I have been posting about,and stated, Re Ex RUC being brought in by HET, the very same ones who committed atrocities and aided and abetted Loyalist British Agents to do the same with the help of FRU and MI5, The HET (ex RUC) are only Interested in there own from the past!. They are also wondering, Has any Loyalist mentioned us?.

Anthony:

Thanks for the correction.

I read it wrong, they are copping out.

Alec,

the ACLU action put BC under tremendous pressure to be seen to be doing something. It is the only reason they appealed

BC would not have gone even this far were it not for the pressure applied by McIntyre and Maloney. They went down with the first blow and only got back up on the count of nine to protect the college. Nothing worth left worth protecting, in my opinion.

Itsjustmacker,

Belfast Bookworm is right. It make these arguments without having any intention of following through to the logical conclusion

itsjustmacker; it seems that they have.. albeit too late. But they then added;

"We continue to seek a resolution of this matter either through legal or diplomatic means,”

More cop-out in my opinion.

Am I missing something here, or, Am I misreading BC's Statement.

The way I read it is, BC are asking for the case to be dismissed. Am I correct?.

If I am, to me that is a good call.
